AB Fantasy books present uncountable imaginary elements such as creatures, places or objects. The names used to refer to these concepts are created by the author, whether using completely new words or combining others that already existed. The English language includes several word-formation processes that provide authors with different techniques to create those names. This dissertation aims at analyzing the wordformation processes of compounding and blends that are found in J.K. Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and at comparing these processes with their equivalent translations in the Spanish version of this book. Thus, this dissertation will also review the translation techniques employed by the translator to create the Spanish names.
